Commission to Control Manpower in D Daniel War Work May Be Set Up
Washington, Aug. 11. Congress may set up an authority with extensive control over manpower to direct workers into war tasks as it returns from August recess. A wartime manpower commission and inspectors to halt labor hoarding at certain plants were among proposed actions. Debate over wages prices and rationing also loomed, while leaders indicated inflation controls largely effective but not ruled out. The 65-address campaign of O Daniel and Allred continued in Texas and south, with both pitching war support and farm price guarantees before the election.
